He races time to thwart a final killing and, if possible, to prove his brother's innocence.Tom Corcoran once again delivers a deftly plotted and gripping mystery with all of the flavor and intrigue that Key West can offer.

Rutledge Rules, Nov 16 2005
By Teresa Vickery "moody blue" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Air Dance Iguana (Hardcover)
Air Dance Iguana is absolutely wicked. The twists and turns of the plot along with the unsual and intriguing cast of characters makes it impossible to put the book down. Corcoran has an eerie knack for weaving a tantalizing tapestry revealing the unexpected. A "who done it" that shouldn't be missed.

Another Good Effort, Nov 7 2005
By St. Louis Mystery Fan "Mystery Buff 2005" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Air Dance Iguana (Hardcover)
I am not sure why this author does not get more buzz in the Florida contingent of mystery writers - I find his stories very entertaining and always look forward to the next Alex Rutledgemystery. This one is another interesting story - and it disappopints me that Corcoran gets no press. I checked out of curiosity and saw that the Borders near my house did not carry this book nor did any Borders in St. Louis - you could order it and get it in a week. Obviously the published is not doing much to promote - and I believe the release of this book was delayed for some time - not sure what is going on but I encourage the writer to keep up with this story line.

Very good atmospheric mystery with heart, Dec 24 2005
By David J. Forsmark "Book Reviewer" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Air Dance Iguana (Hardcover)
Another indication that Harriet Klausner does not read all of the books she posts about is her description of Air Dance Iguana as "zany." Despite the uniquely Floridian manner of murder and the title, in tone, the Alex Rutledge books are far closer to John D. MacDonald and Steve Hamilton than Carl Hiaasen and his countless imitators-- which is what someone who only looked at the COVER of this book might mistake it for.Like Travis McGee, Alex works when he needs to, and enjoys his lifestyle, like Steve Hamilton, the cases are an imposition on his real life. At the heart of this book is Alex's attempt at rescuing his derelict brother. Sure there's humor, but this book is anything but "zany." Check it out if you like MacDonald and Hamilton, and would like something set in Florida that's not a cheap rip-off of Hiaasen like FAR too many other series.
